Previously On with Jillian Bonanne

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian Bonanne is joined by her husband Tyler Branch to recap Episode 6 of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, “The Wedding.” With their own wedding still fresh in their minds, they dive into the pressure and expectations surrounding John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette as their relationship faces growing scrutiny - not just from the public, but from the Kennedy family itself. Jillian also addresses the real-life controversy around the series, including Daryl Hannah’s criticism of how the show portrays her.
The episode picks up after John and Carolyn’s public fight, leading to a tense but revealing conversation between Carolyn and Ethel Kennedy about what it truly means to marry into the Kennedy family. Jillian and Tyler discuss the theme of sacrifice throughout the episode and break down the "Top 5 Sacrifices Made in this Episode" from Carolyn leaving her job at Calvin Klein and moving into John’s apartment to the emotional compromises her family makes.
They also talk about the secretive wedding itself and how the show recreates the famously private ceremony and one of the most-talked about celebrity weddings of all time.

The School Spirits Season 3 finale is here and we have a LOT to talk about. In this episode of the Previously On podcast, Jillian and her husband Tyler break down Season 3 Episode 8, “Dawn of the Deb,” a finale that delivers zombies, answers, emotional reunions, and one massive cliffhanger. The hosts recap the action-packed episode, where Maddie’s spirit wanders through the woods looking for Simon while her real-world body acts as a zombie. Meanwhile, the ghosts scramble to uncover the truth about Dr. Hunter-Price and Alfred Van Heidt as a fire threatens to destroy the school.
Jillian also reveals her Top 5 “Girl, You Did It!” moments, celebrating the characters who stepped up in the finale - from Maddie saving Simon to Rhonda and Quinn literally saving everyone at the school board meeting. The episode also dives into the episode's biggest reveals, including the truth behind the puddle portal, the shocking Sandra twist, and what it means now that ghosts may be able to leave the school.
Plus, Jillian and Tyler revisit their predictions from earlier in the season, discuss what the finale sets up for the future, and ask the biggest question of all: Will School Spirits get a Season 4? If you love supernatural mysteries, teen drama, and finale breakdowns packed with theories, reactions, and fan moments, this recap has you covered.

Lady Whistledown may be gone… but the gossip is just getting started. 👀✨
In this podcast episode of Previously On, Jillian and Claire break down Bridgerton season 4 part 2 episodes 5 thru 8 and debate was this the best season ever?! From Benedict and Sophie’s epic, high-stakes love story to that shocking Lady Whistledown twist, we’re diving into all the romance, yearning, class drama, and family scheming that made this back half of the season absolutely top tier. We break down S4 PT2 eps "Yes or No," "The Passing Winter," "The Beyond," and "Dance in the Country."
Plus, we rank every Bridgerton season (including Queen Charlotte) from least favorite to favorite — and yes, we disagree a little.
If you’ve been wondering whether Bridgerton still has it, this season proves the ton is very much alive and thriving.

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian dives into Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette - Episode 5, “Battery Park.” What she called a “vibes show” last week has officially entered its drama era.
From a tense Hyannis family dinner to a surprise proposal, a very public denial, and the infamous Battery Park fight, this episode cracks open the fairytale and shows the pressure building around one of the most iconic couples of the ’90s. The love is still there, but so are the cameras, the expectations, and the weight of the Kennedy legacy.
In honor of Jillian watching a lot of this ep covering her eyes, she counts down the Top 5 “Horror Movie” Moments of the episode that includes the Kennedy family foreign policy pop quiz, the unsettling proposal timing, and of course the infamous public fight. (Plus: Jessica Harper of Suspiria fame playing Ethel Kennedy? The horror vibes were baked in.)
Jillian unpacks the proposal heard ’round the tabloids and why John’s denial to the press cuts so deep, especially for Carolyn, who is already struggling with the reality of what it means to enter his world. She explores Carolyn’s fear of losing herself, her hesitation about politics and public life, and her need for reassurance that she’ll be protected. And yes, we have to talk about that Goo Goo Dolls needle drop that seals one of the coolest, most complicated “yes” moments ever.
